Statement of ordinary and special rates<br />
Strategy – Ordinary Rates<br />
<strong>Council</strong> will continue to levy ordinary rates using a structure comprising a base amount to which an ad valorem<br />
component is added. The Base Amount will vary, depending on rating category / sub-category combination, up to the<br />
maximum allowed (50%) for defined urban areas. All rateable properties within each category / sub-category, regardless<br />
of their land value, are levied the base amount. The balance of income for ordinary rates is derived by multiplying the<br />
land value of a property by a rate in dollar for the relevant category / sub-category, which is determined by <strong>Council</strong>. The<br />
amount payable by ratepayers under this component is dependent on the land value of the property. In addition, the total<br />
amount collected for ordinary rates each year will take account of any approved increase advised by the Minister.<br />
The following is the structure of <strong>Council</strong>’s rates:<br />
